Point A is located at negative 6 over 8 and point B is located at negative 1 over 8. What is the distance between points A and B? negative 6 over 8 plus negative 1 over 8 = negative 7 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 7 over 8 equals negative 7 over 8 units negative 6 over 8 plus negative 1 over 8 = negative 7 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 7 over 8 equals 7 over 8 units negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals negative 5 over 8 units negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals 5 over 8 units

how far away is -6 from -1?

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[\frac{ -6 }{ 8 } - \frac{ -1 }{ 8 } = \frac{ -6 }{ 8 } + \frac{ 1 }{ 8 } = \frac{ -5 }{ 8 }\]

Distance is a real value, a positive number, you need the absolute value of the answer
